Thus began that sacrificial rite of the great-souled Pandava, the sole hero on earth, as [the rite] of Shakra in heaven. Then King Yudhishthira sent the Pandava Nakula to Hastinapura — to Bhishma, O bull of the Bharatas, to Drona, Dhritarashtra, Vidura, and Kripa, and to all the kinsmen who were devoted to Yudhishthira.

At the height of the celebration, Yudhishthira's first thought is to send word to Hastinapura — to Bhishma, Drona, Dhritarashtra, to the very house of his rivals. It is telling that in the hour of his glory the righteous man does not forget his elders and kinsmen, even those whose affection is doubtful: the sacrifice calls to reconciliation, not to exaltation over one's own kin. The verse teaches that true greatness is humble and kinly — it shares its joy with those close to it rather than flaunting it before them. In inviting the Kauravas to his triumph, Yudhishthira honors the bonds of blood above rivalry; and in this summons lies one last hand extended toward unity, before discord divides the houses.
